9-22: On Second Thought...Did President Trump Completely Outmaneuver The Media? · Wicked Radio with Bill Adams

• 0:04
  Speaker 1: On second thought, did Trump totally outmaneuver the media with
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: this so-called ban from them being in the press area
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: of the White House? I told you yesterday I was
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: going to rethink this thing. And you know what? I
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: was just thinking about this about five minutes ago before
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: I pressed live. If you're watching this later on, you
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: can watch this at your own leisure. I don't think
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: I've ever done the same topic or question two podcasts,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: two live streams in a row for two days in
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: a row. But I think, because I try to vary
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: it up a little bit, but I think this one's
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: worth it. My entire thing, my entire premise, my entire existence,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: whenever I'm in front of one of these things, these microphones,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: is to do the best I possibly can to get
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: anybody I can to ask questions to make their own
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: decisions and not rely on what's traditionally now become known
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: as the fake news. So I think it's worth reexamining
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: this entire thing. And some important things happened yesterday with
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: this so-called ban. And the most important thing is just that.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: How the administration is reframing this. A little bit of
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: propaganda on their own, but that's okay. They're telling the truth.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: How they're reframing this and getting people to understand immediately
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: this isn't a ban. The other thing that happened, which
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: is massive, a few things happened, is the support that
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: this has already. This is such a new recent action
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: that just launched on Monday and we're only into Tuesday.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: So the polls aren't even out yet. You know, the
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: national snap polls about support for President Trump. restricting White
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: House access to traditional news outlets. They haven't asked that question.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: They haven't gathered their information quite yet. So we're going
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: to rely on your own life. You ask anybody. Venture
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: forth into your work life today or your family life
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: tonight or this week or whatever it is when you
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: ever get a chance. And you ask normal everyday people
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: if they trust the mainstream news media. And you find
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: out what you get. And if you think he was
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: right in doing this, you're going to be shocked at
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: what you find. Or maybe not shocked. Massive support for this.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: And They know that because the White House, any White House,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: does their own internal polling. So I'm going to ask
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the question on second thought, as we talk about this
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: for two days in a row, because it's that big
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: of a story. The media has become the story. Did
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Trump totally upmaneuver them? Let's find out. Some interesting things happened.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Interesting things are afoot. But thanks for finding me. Wicked
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Radio live stream Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. ish. Eastern
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Time on X and YouTube and Facebook and then the
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: replay on those channels as well. Audio podcast, complete show, uploaded,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: as I always say, right after the live stream. Let's
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: get right to it. First of all, this caught my
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: attention yesterday. So all the world leaders, the administration leaders
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: are headed to New York. President Trump's there already. It's
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the big UN meeting. All the world leaders are there.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: So the media is there, of course. It's part of
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the story here. Of course, they're still following him, right?
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Of course, it's their business model. On the tarmac, going
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: to the UN meetings, J.D. Mann said something fascinating that
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: caught my ear. And I said, this is interesting. Not
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of, let's face it, not a lot of Republicans,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: not a lot of people on that red team over there,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: not a lot of people in the Trump administration except
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: him are good at framing. In other words, how you
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: describe something. Because what did we hear all yesterday? It's
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: a ban. I even said it. I put it in
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the title of the live stream yesterday in the podcast.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Is Trump's media ban going to backfire? Well, they quickly
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: had an answer and rerouted, reframed this whole ban word.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: And J.D. Vance said it for the first time I
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: heard it. but I heard it all day long yesterday.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: I take some issue with the premise. So he's not
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: banning media outlets.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: What he's doing is saying, we're.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Not going to give you special access to the White
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: House if you engage in what is effectively propaganda.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Huh.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Now, I saw that, and it caught my ear. I
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: had to rewind it. It was on in the background.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I was doing some other work, and I said, that's
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: interesting framing, and that's really smart. Right away, they answered
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: this whole thing because everybody tried to attack it. I said, ban.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: You're banning. Banning sounds bad. Banning anything sounds bad if
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: it's information-based. They quickly said, it's not a ban, it's
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: restricting special access. They still have this. And that immediately
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: shot down their First Amendment argument. You saw that on CNN.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: It's a First Amendment violation. No, it's not. You might
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: remember me saying yesterday, they're still talking about them. They
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: have every right to talk about them. They quickly explained
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: this and reframed this to say, no, you're not going
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: to have special access anymore. In other words, roaming the
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: halls of the Pentagon. They had already restricted that. roaming
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the halls of the White House, getting their sources as
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: they're pushing out this propaganda. And as you're going to
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: hear here, 92 to 95 percent, these are independent polls,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: 92 to 95 percent negative press coverage of this administration.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: That's statistically impossible. Even if you are, you know, even
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Pravda out of Russia wouldn't have that much negative coverage.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's impossible. That's just, you know that that's propaganda.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Then J.D. Vance got to the media outlets. I think
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: it was Newsmax he was talking in this one. And
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: he said this again. I thought this was interesting. Again,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: with the framing. Very smart and very interesting, and he
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: wasn't the only one to put it this way.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: People say that we've banned Politico. Politico will still write
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: their crazy articles. They will still misrepresent what we say
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: and do. What's different is that they don't have an
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: office in the White House anymore. But if you're going
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: to have that White House office, I think it's reasonable
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: for us to expect that you're at least going to
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: try to be fair. And if you're going to be
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: a propaganda arm of the left, why would Donald Trump
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: give you special access?
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Here's that term again. They're not calling it a ban
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: anymore because they completely removed that, J.D. Vance and others.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Not a ban, removing special access. Special access just sounds dirty,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: doesn't it? You had all these media outlets, which nobody
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: in your personal life, I'll go back to that again,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: find me people that blindly trust the media these days.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Their trust has never been lower. My favorite poll of
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: all time that comes out every single year is trust
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: in media. It's gone consistently down the last 15 years,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: even pre-Trump presidency. consistent, it's down in single digits. It's
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: like 8% of the population trust mainstream media because everybody
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: knows you can't lie for people for that many decades
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: and not be exposed. People know. That's why it was
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: the right time to do this. Not only him, because
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: it's New York, Mike Waltz did an interview too. He's
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the UN ambassador speaking for this. Now, of course, Caitlin
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Collins from CNN. Again, gee, they're still covering the White House,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: aren't they? Just not in the White House. She had
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: a direct question for him, but What are these world leaders,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: what are they going to say as they come to
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: town and they see this restriction of access? Yet another
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: good answer. This is what he said last night.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: What's the message to world leaders if he's banning coverage
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: because he doesn't like what the.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Reporters are reporting?
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: I think the message to world leaders is we need
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: an open, free, and fair, and objective democracy. press corps
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: and that's not what we're seeing right now how do
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: we have an open and free and fair press corps
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: if he's saying well this outlet i don't like so
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: they can't come into the oval office but other outlets
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: can you just ignored what i just said you don't
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: have an inherent right to any government facility that you
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: want whether it's langley or the white house and that
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: has been determined by multiple supreme court cases great.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Answer great framing again they're actually they they actually got
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: their ducks in a row before they sent this out
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: there and i didn't expect that Usually with this administration,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: it's Trump. He has an idea where he's going, and
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: he does. He has a couple of moves already set
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: in his head. This time, everybody is saying the same thing,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: and they're in line reframing this thing so that people
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: can understand it, and it's already effective. Now, that was
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: something interesting he said, and Mike Walz, the U.N. ambassador,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: went on to kind of intimate here something else, President Trump.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: There's another big development yesterday where he said, in kind
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: of defending this, President Trump really for the first time
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: is shouting it out loud about the foreign influence in U.S. media.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: This has been a thing that's been going on for years.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: We've all asked the question. I've asked this I don't
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: know how many dozens of times out loud in public. CNN,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: as we all know, has basically no ratings. Why, how
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: are they still existing? There has to be some sort of,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: it's a private organization. Who's funding them and keeping this going?
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Would it surprise you to learn that these are foreign governments?
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Of course they want this information. Of course they want
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: propaganda spread throughout the country and dividing people. Of course
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: they want that. Of course they do. And that was
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: another thing that came out yesterday, and this was a
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: big one. This got a lot of attention and actually
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: went viral. So this is a still shot I'm going
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: to bring up here. You're not going to be able
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: to see it, but I'm going to read it off here.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: And this is the real danger of what they're talking about.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: J.D.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Vance said it there. He intimated. Marco Rubio has said
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: this in the past. President Trump certainly has. What's the
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: overall effect of all this negative coverage? Like completely over
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the top biased coverage. Criticize Trump all you want, that's
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: your job. But 92 to 95% negative, that's statistically impossible
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: unless you have an agenda. This was a Public Policy
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Institute survey yesterday, right? This is the true danger of
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: what it is. And convincing people time after time after
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: time over the course of decades with literally hinting that
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: this guy's actual Hitler. I mean, you know, CNN tried that, MSNBC,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: MSNOW tried to do that. Here's their poll that they did.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Democrats want Trump out by almost any means necessary. This
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: was their poll question, this organization. If you woke up
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: tomorrow and saw the following news headlines, how would you feel?
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: President Trump has been impeached. That was the most popular one.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Using the 25th Amendment to the Constitution, President Trump has
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: been removed. That was 70% positive. President Trump died overnight.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: 45% of the respondents saw that as positive. 45%. Where
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: do you think they're getting their convictions? To safeguard the Constitution,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: a group of U.S. military leaders have removed President Trump.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: 42% saw that as positive. President Trump was... The A word,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: the bad word, assassinated. 23% of these people. All demographics,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: by the way. Both political parties and a million people.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: massive poll. 23% saw that as a positive thing. Where
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: do you think that comes from? That comes from decades
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: and decades and decades of negative news. And then they
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: get somebody like President Trump and then they just hate
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: him because he's exposing what they do. And that's how
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: you get 95% negative coverage or just nasty coverage. Look
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: at the hoax coverage. The fine people hoax. The Russia
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: collusion hoax. Impeachment hoaxes. All of this stuff that happens.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: That's how you get a survey like this. The source,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: the Public Policy Institute. That's how you get this. The
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Center for Strategic Politics. That's the danger of all this stuff.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: And that's why it happens. Which is why another big development.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: it happened yesterday, was fascinating to me, was this released
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: on Trump's Truth Social account just yesterday. Now, I'm saying
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: this only because it's relevant to the story in this
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: little tidbit here, but this is a girl in her car.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I'm sure she put this on TikTok, might have been Instagram.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: She's got red dyed hair and has a nose ring.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I'm only saying that because it's relevant to the story
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: and it might surprise you. Here's what she said about
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: all this. And again, It went viral and people saw
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: this because Trump put it on Truth Social. He grabbed
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: this and reposted this, or his team did. Listen to
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: what she says. Next time you think that this isn't
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: a popular move and that people aren't disgusted with the
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: bias and the lies and the propaganda of all media,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: all of them, listen to what she says and tell
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: me you don't think he has the support of most
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: people in this country. Here's a girl in her 20s
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: who has had it with the propaganda.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: And you make it damn near impossible for these people
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: to continue to lie. to the American public, which has
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: brought chaos, hatred, division, and anarchy all across this country.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: Finds out the ass, which will damn near bankrupt their
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: company should they lie to the American people ever again.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: That's one person, obviously. But again, and I say that
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: it's relevant to the story, it's probably someone by the
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: looks of her, because, you know, shame on me too,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: we're all trained to think that way. You would think
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: she would be a Trump hater, right? By her looks.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: I know, shouldn't judge people by their cover. That's why
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: he posted it. There's an example of somebody that's had it,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: and that's a young girl who votes who has had it. Again,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: there's no snap polls overnight to see what kind of
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: popularity this Trump restriction of the U.S. media has in
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: the White House and special access. You talk to people
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: in your personal life, and you find out exactly how
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: they feel about this kind of thing. And you're going
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: to find most people are actually completely, totally aware of
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: the bias in the U.S. media and the damage it's done.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Most of us are completely aware of it now. That
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: may be Trump's greatest accomplishment of all. He always calls
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: them fake news. Actually, surprisingly enough, Obama coined the term
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: fake news, ironically enough. Trump grabbed it, though, and he
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: made it his own. That might be his greatest accomplishment,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: making people aware of propaganda news and what's out there. Now,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: when you go and venture forth and you talk to
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: people about this entire thing, or if people talk about
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: it out loud, here's your pushback. This is one of
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: the things you're going to hear. This is what you do.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Don't let anybody tell you he's giving special favorite to
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Fox News because they're part of this. They're not part
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: of the lawsuit, but they announced just yesterday they're supporting
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: the other three networks that are suing him, and they're
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: supporting the actions of this, what is it, White House
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Correspondents Association, whatever the hell it is. Here's Fox, too.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: He's criticizing them as well.
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: Three news outlets are filing a lawsuit to have their
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: access restored after President Trump banned them from the White
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: House late on Friday. CNN, MSNOW and Politico say the
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: ban violates the First Amendment. Now, the White House television pool,
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: which includes Fox News, releasing a joint statement, it reads
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: the following. The public has a vital interest in receiving accurate,
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: independent information about its government. No administration should restrict a
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: news organization because it objects to its report.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Fox is supporting them. So this whole line, again, I
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: talked about this yesterday. The first thing you'll always hear
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: of somebody that says, oh, you just think because you
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: watch Fox News. Um, We all learned a big lesson
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: in 2020, the election night. Remember that one? Remember that, Arizona?
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: We all learned about Fox News. They're no friends. And
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Trump has criticized them as well. Another Truth Social post
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: with them. So this isn't just favoritism to that one network.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: And then the last big thing that happened yesterday, besides
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the framing, the reframing, very smartly, and exactly what this
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: is all about, they know they have the support of
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: the American people on this. They're exposing propaganda news for
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: what it is. They're making people aware of this entire thing.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Another thing that happened yesterday, because it was New York
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: and they're getting ready for the U.N. meetings, President Trump
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: had to go to Gracie Mansion and meet with Mamdani.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: That was interesting enough on his own. That probably would
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: have been the top headline story. You know, he had
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: a lot of Trump supporters saying, no, don't meet with him.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Of course he's going to meet with him. But he
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: made the best line of all. Here's your proof that
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: they're not being banned. They just have less special access,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: which maybe they shouldn't have anyway. His audio is a
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: little tough to hear, but he pointed right to all
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: the media right in front of him as he was
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: in front of the mayor's house in New York. He
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: said they were going to boycott me, but they never
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: boycott me. So I wasn't very worried about that. Look
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: at all that press.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: But no, I'm only doing it because I think the
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: press also is an obligation.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: And, you know, I won in a landslide. And then
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: he went into all the positive things he's done in
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: the administration. But he said it right there. We all
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: kind of knew this was going to happen. They're not
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: going to stop covering him. They're not banned. They don't
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: have a First Amendment violation. He said it in front
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: of Gracie Manchin. They're all here. All of these networks
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: are right here. They're still covering me. They're not going
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: to ban me. And he knew that. He knew exactly
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: what was going to happen with that. So I don't know.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: I asked the question to open this entire thing up.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Did Trump completely outmaneuver the media on this? Or did
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: it backfire? No, I think they were way out of
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: the game. Because they very smartly, in a surprise move
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: for them, they're usually not too good. He's great with messaging.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: The other people in the administration usually aren't. They've really
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: handled this well. Along with another thing that happened, by
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: the way. This is more criticism you're going to hear.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: They launched Trump TV yesterday. Did you happen to see that?
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: It's going to be a YouTube channel where it's direct
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: access you can get to what's going on with the
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: administration without the media filtering it. And people are already
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: out there saying, oh, well, that state runs TV. He
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: didn't like PBS. Why is he doing this? Oh, it's not. No,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: it's not. OK, then they've set the precedent. Now, the
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: next president that's going to be in there, whether it's
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: like Rubio TV or God forbid, Kamala Harris TV. Oh,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: my God. They're all going to do this. They just
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: invented a way for the American people to get direct information. Yeah,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: they're calling it Trump TV. But this is now a
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: thing that's going to happen. You're going to have a
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: live 24-7 conversation. network for you to see what's going
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: on with the administration without CNN or Fox News' opinion.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: How do we ask for more? I mean, that's a
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: great precedent. That was another piece of something that happened
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: yesterday that completely outmaneuvered the media that tried to call
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: this a First Amendment violation. No, it wasn't. No, it
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: wasn't at all. This is what it is. This is,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: you know, Elon has said it many times. You're the
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: media now. This is your access. Look at all the different,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: all the different ways to get news and information now.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: And we're in the middle of a battle for that information.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: The younger voters, Trump said it himself, whoever controls TikTok
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: and has a really strong reach on TikTok, you get
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: the younger generation of voters. You just do. You know,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: whoever can control this media stream which has always been
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: the case, is going to have the most power. We
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: are in the information age, but we're early on in it,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: so it's a battle for that information. Maybe the best
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: thing of all that came out of yesterday and this
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: restricted access for the traditional media sources, too bad for them.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: They have not done their job. That's absolutely true, and
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: we all know that. But now we have direct access. Well,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: what's going on? It's not just going to be Trump.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: They just started something that's going to go on for
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: future presidents until we're long gone. That's all we ever
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: wanted was the truth so we can make our own decisions.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: So I'll ask it again. Did Trump outmaneuver the media
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: on this? I got to go, yes. I think the
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: entire administration did. Because as soon as that nonsense, again, ironically,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: more propaganda, First Amendment violation. It's a ban. It's censorship. No, immediately.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Immediately they came around, reframed that, and they said, no,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: it's not. You're getting access, just not special access because
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: you haven't done their job. That was brilliant. I'm sorry.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know how you feel about it. Maybe you
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: don't like Trump.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: I would give the guy credit forever for exposing this
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: stuff and what the media has done. Not just the
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: past 10 years, the past 70 years. Now they're being
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: held accountable because now we have this. And now we
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: have your laptop. And we now have special access to
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: getting the truth. That's all we ever asked for. So
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: he's winning this one. All right. Don't think we're going
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: to talk about this again tomorrow. It'll be something else.
• 19:05
